IF you have aluminum wheels here in the Northeast you should put the
weights on the inside because the weight will rust the aluminum, well
if you get aluminum weights the weight doesn't rust the wheel but the
metal band that holds the weight on does. I've had my weights on all
my cars put on the inside because of this. The guy doing it looks at you
funny but this can be done with no problem, helps when you live in an area
that uses alot of salt....Todd
